Learnin' the Blues Songtext
von Katie Melua

The tables are empty - the dance floor′s deserted
You play the same love song - it's the tenth time you′ve heard it
That's the beginning - just one of the clues
You've had your first lesson - in learnin′ the blues


The cigarettes you light - one after the other
Won′t help you forget him - when you're losing your lover
You′re only burning - a torch you can't lose
But you′re on the right track - for learnin' the blues

When you′re out in a crowd, the blues will taunt you constantly
When you're out in a crowd, the blues will haunt your memory

The nights when you don't sleep - the whole night you′re crying
But you can not forget him - soon you even stop trying
You′ll walk the floor - and wear out your shoes
When you feel your heart break - you're learnin′ the blues
